1. Grouping should have been done keeping in mind the preferred language. While i preferred English, i was with a Spanish speaking group till Aarhus - which was not enjoyable.
2. Large groups should no be clubbed with individual/ small family travellers. There was a group of 20 people travelling together and that often led to delays etc.
I loved this trip. I enjoyed every minute of it. Jose was a great guide. He was very informative. He made sure everyone was looked after. There was just enough touring and spare time. And David Solanes was brilliant. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough.
I really enjoyed the trip where I could meet many new friends from different countries. Although its a bit hectic but overall its a memorable tour for me and my wife. Thanks.
In overall the tour was good but changing tour guides wasnt convenient. Its quiet acceptable to have 2 language group but ... Europamundo should thing beforehand about cultural background of groups they want to join in one group. One day was a total disaster for English speaking group because of the second group and their behavior.
River cruises - I expected a guided cruise and not just a ride.
Local guides in Prague, Paris, London - are exceptional, very informative. Really enjoyed it.
We loved everything on this tour, the itenerary was followed exactly how it was on My Trip, hotels were very good, the guide Emma and the driver Juan Carlos were excellent, very kind and very helpful, everything was really good and definitely we will go on on a tour with Europamundo again :)
When we reached Tokyo, no one from Europamundo came to receive us. After about 1.5hrs. someone came took us to the Hotel in public Transport we dragged our bags. All 3 of us are senior citizens.
Evening next day we were taken around Tokyo in a public transport. Very tiring. We need to be compensated as we had paid for a private tour.
The visit to the Imperial Palace grounds in TOKYO KYOTO is waste of time as the Palaces are closed we just walk in the grounds - nothing to see.
The itinerary gave us no free time.
The Guides - all of them were superb very helpful.
I have attached the evaluation on this trip that my Husband and forwared to Tourradar:
I have referred Tourradar to numerous friends and family and will continue to do so. Our Germany-Norway trip was outstanding We have done a lot of travel but never enjoyed a trip more thanks to Europamundo and our guide Julio Villar, we have never had a more conscientious, hardworking, enthusiastic guide. We knew nothing about Europamundo when we reserved two trips to Europe this year ended up with them as the Tour Company. After the Germany-Norway experience we knew we hit the jackpot with Europamundo Julio .
In another 90 or so days we take off for the Lisbon-Rome adventure, I am aggressively petitioning Europamundo to assign JULIO VILLAR to lead the tour. We have solicited nine other friends family to join us they are paid confirmed for this trip. We will continue to promote TOURRADAR EUROPAMUNDO JULIO VILLAR as the ONLY people to travel with.
Regards,
Lynn Desmond
PS. Please send a note to the Europamundo management and let them know what an assest they have in Julio Villar.
This is a very fast paced tour but totally worth it. The drivers and tour guides are amazing They take their job very seriously and they treat everyone with respect. You will need to change bus drivers and guides every few days, depending on your itinerary but the ethics and professionalism of the staff Europamundo has is exceptional my family and I have no complaints. They were all wonderful and new what they were talking about. From our first days with Fernando and Monica to Gaby Mamma Mia and finally to Gildo, everyone of them made sure that we got the best experience on our trip.
